North Carolina Vehicle Bill of Sale Form

North Carolina does not publish an official bill of sale form for private vehicle sales. Any written bill of sale is accepted. Instead of a sales tax, NC charges a 3% Highway Use Tax (HUT) on the vehicle's retail value (or sale price if higher) — paid at the time of title transfer.
